You forgot Emolga
But Emolga is a flying squirrel! D: It's the "sky squirrel" pokemon.
still falls in the electric rodent category. Same with Pachirisu.
Which makes sense when people are talking about the electric rodents, but we were talking about mice specifically. Though I guess you could say the twins and Dedenne are somewhat vague as to their species("Cheering pokemon" and "Antenna pokemon" could be anything).

I need an excuse to touch my Wii U again. Too bad I'm too broke to afford Mario Kart right now.

The New System update, Game Boy Advance Virtual Console, Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Wii U Edition (can be found fairly cheaply now I believe), Earthbound. There's my ideas if Mario Kart 8 or any other full priced game is out of the picture.

I'm a bit confused about the Rare thing, before they were owned by Microsoft, were they second party to Nintendo or third-party?
If I understood it right, they were second party, aka Nintendo pretty much controlled them but didn't own them outright. Then the whole Microsoft thing happened when Rare thought they could have more freedom by being bought by another company. When they put themselves up for sale they were kinda hoping someone like Activision or Blizzard would buy them, then out of nowhere Microsoft entered the video game business with Xbox and raised the bidding price so high so that they could pretty much steal it from Nintendo... which they did. Nintendo then proceeded to plunk down a relatively small amount of money on Retro Studios afterwards and the rest is history.

Second-party.

Fun fact: Perfect Dark content was in Melee (the Cloaking Device and Proximity Mine), making it the first third-party series in Smash when you look back in hindsight, as Melee was before Rare went to Microsoft.

Edit: way too late. Didn't refresh the page for a while.

Those things aren't mice, they're Cheering and Antenna Pokemon, totally different!
Sandshrew/sandslash are pangolins despite being called the shrew pokemon (or mouse pokemon)

Specifically pokemon that have 3 forms

Rookie, Champion, and ultimate

Like Pichu, Pikachu, and Raichu
Mega Evolution upgrades a Pokemon's capabilities. So limiting this gift to just the third evolved Pokemon would not have created Pokemon like Mega Mawile, who in my opinion had the best balanced buff in the entire game, as is Manectric and Pinsir.

I believe M.E.s can be used to revive Pokemon who aren't used so much in competitive play. I pray Zangoose obtains a M.E. because of this.

Speaking of Zangoose, I caught a shiny one yesterday.

When you have 1st forms or 2nd form pokemon mega pokevolving, it means those pokemon will NEVER get a proper evolution

THAT'S the problem I have with it

Zangoose is the only Pokémon I can't catch.

Feeling hyped?

I might be sharing some Nintendo remixes over the next week until E3. What do you think?

Anyway, found this fan remix of F-Zero's Big Blue on YouTube. It takes a lot of liberties with the original composition, but sounds pretty good.

Well, it WOULD be interesting if there was a pokemon in the future you had to choose between a mega evolution or a normal evolution
